In the first serious case of alien abduction, Betty and Barney Hill believed they were captured, examined, and released by intelligent beings from outer space. The Hills maintained that the entities arrived and departed via a large, silent circular craft with blinking red lights.

The Exeter Encounter

September 3, 1965 -
Exeter, NH

In the first well-documented case of a UFO sighting (officially logged, April 5, 1966 congressional record), recent high school graduate, Norman Muscarello, and Exeter, New Hampshire police officers Eugene Bertrand and David Hunt, witnessed at close range a mysterious, large, silent round object with flashing red lights.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS

Both New Hampshire UFO experiences took place four years apart

For Betty and Barney Hill, Norman Muscarello, Eugene Bertrand, and David Hunt, their terrifying Close Encounters of the Third and First Kind changed their lives, as well as those of their family and friends, forever.

Docufologists Jeff and Jess Finn spent a year researching, contacting, and interviewing over 100 relatives, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances associated with the Hill Abduction and the Exeter Encounter. Initially setting out to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Betty and Barney Hills' September 19, 1961 UFO experience, the Finns' documentary grew to equally include the September 3, 1965 UFO experience that has become known as the Incident at Exeter.
